There's plain few problems can't be solved with a little sweat and hard work.

Henry : "Are you a bounty hunter?" Bounty Hunter : "A man has got to earn a livin'" Henry : "Dyin' ain't much of a living boy."

Nature abhors a moron.

A pair of Eastern Rosellas spotted over the road from our place this time last week. They make a fine sight on a clear, brisk morning. My guesstimate would be that there are twenty or so pairs living within four hundred square metres of our house, so they can often be found. Things that are annoying me this morning: 1. the same old morons; 2. the burn I picked up on my right hand last night; 3. anti-vaccination idiots; 4. stubborn, hard to remove stains; 5. play dough.

All the great speakers were bad speakers at first.

Here is an angry little bloke trying to get into the storage room at the Geilston Bay Community Centre. Now, yes I am a member of the Board, but I am unsure as to whether that grants access for all of my family to the treasure trove within. A stickler for process, I've had to yellow card Ez for his transgression, and put him on notice...

Every hero becomes a bore at last.

Yes, it is the barbed wire that can be found on the fire escape at my work site again! Yes, there is barbed wire on the fire escape, such is the genius of our dominant classes here in Tasmania. Featured here is one of the very many cruel means that concentrated power utilise to stifle the revolutionary intent of proletariat . Of course, I have either a) had a small victory in securing the shift to a four day working week; or b) been duped into a further - and unknowing - web of Repressive Tolerance . Either way, I now have Fridays off! To escape the drudgery of a further neo-Marxist critique of Australian non-government service delivery, I have turned to noted scholar (his book on Marx and human nature is well worth the effort), and proficient blogger Norm Geras, and his meme of En-title-meant . The concept is a simple one: answer the questions using only the titles of books you've read this year and without repeating one. Describe yourself: If This is a Man , Primo Levi How do yo...

A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.

It's the reappearance of Hairy Henry! This should cause rejoicing in the streets of the greater Delhi area. It will be like Gandhi Jayanti all over again!

Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.

It’s Theme Thursday folks, and have we got a fantastic theme set up for your pleasure today! Did it convince you? I tried, really, I tried. What in blazes can I talk about today? I’ve got a photo of a chimney in Battery Point. It could be brickworks, or a crematorium, or just an over-enthusiastic homeowner with cold toes. Truth is, I don’t know. It does make for a nice picture. But then again, I would say that. The theme today is BEGINNING . And this is the END

Well, all I know is what I read in the papers.

" Blood oranges, you say...?" Hmmmm...
